This course is made for beginners. The training is progressive and we can adapt our courses to your rhythm and your physical condition.

The course is divided in two parts. One part is theoretical and the other part is practical. The most important part of the course is definitely the practice.

More information:

*  About 10 days of classes . teorical and practical classes.
*  12 flights at about 600 meter 

Theoretical classes

*  Knowledge of the equipment.
*  Security.
*  Aereolgie.
*  Meteorologie.
*  Norms of flights.

Clases PRACTICAS

The equipment that we will use:

Paragliding made for Iniciation flights.
Harnes with optimal dorsal protection.
Emergency parachute. Helmet of security.
Radio for communication.

This practice will be realized on inclined field.

During this time we will learn the name of the parts of the paraglide. Then we will start to control the paraglide at the same time that we will do the running. After, we will raise the paraglide above us and we will try to control it. The most important aspect of this part of the course is to know how to run for the take off, the use of the break, running along without sitting or jumping and finally we gone learn how to land softly using correctly the break. With this we finished the first part of the course!

So now it’s the time to do the tandem flight! This flight will be a didactic flight, because its like a practical flight where we practice what we learned in the theoretical courses.

Altitude Flight.

Because we know how to take off, we can learn now how to turn and move in the air. Then we gone learn how to move to lose altitude for landing in the landing field. During this type of flight there will be two instructors, one will be there for the security of take off and the other instructor will be in the landing field.

Less or more, the training takes 10 days. But we can adapt our schedule to your own.

You will have 12 flights at approximately 600 meters.
